Leaving the choke on while operating will result in excessive fuel consumption, irregular engine power performance and eventually may even damage the engine. Some engines utilize a manual fuel primer bulb to enrich the ratio of fuel in the fuel air mixture for initial engine starting.
Why does my four wheeler only run with the choke on?
If a motorcycle or ATV only runs with the choke on, it’s because the richer “choke on” mixture is actually closer to the engine’s normal operating fuel mixture than the leaner “choke off” mixture.
